The possibilities are endless when it comes to planning a wedding, but sometimes all those options can be overwhelming. Here at Brit + Co, we’ve shared our favorite gown trends, favors and makeup looks, so now we’re moving on to the most unique wedding tablescapes around. Scroll on to gaze at centerpieces, tablescapes and place settings — oh my!

2. Repurposed Book: Bookworms, rejoice! This table runner is right up your alley. (via Studio EMP)

3. Cactus Stack: Um, we didn’t know that cacti could be made into this cute of a centerpiece. Add a natural flair with rocks and simple flowers. (via Mike Olbinski)

4. Yellow Roses + Greenery: Not only are we obsessed with these gold dipped glasses, but we’re also loving the hot air balloon lights. Tip: Tablescapes don’t have to stop at the table. (via 5ive15ifteen)

5. Wood Blocks: For a rustic-chic look, use natural wood blocks for the center of the table and wood sheets as placemats. (via Moss and Isaac)

6. Unique Name Cards: Add a personalized touch to your guests’ place settings with laser-cut place cards. (via Paige Jones)

7. Alice in Wonderland Inspired: Going for a themed wedding? This Alice in Wonderland-inspired table is calling your name. (via Weddings by Nicola & Glen)

9. Mixed Metallics: We’re swooning over these branches mixed with metallic touches. Oh, and our love for the magenta flowers is a given. (via Tasha Schalk)

10. Potted Succulents: Stretching the dollar? Then this table decor is a must. Simply pot a few succulents and place on a simple white table runner. (via Paper and Lace)

11. Upcycled Cake Plates: Cake plates don’t have to be used for *just* cake. Add fun florals and antique place settings for a shabby-chic look that takes the cake. (via Ryon:Lockhard Photography)

12. Strawberries: This is the best idea for an outdoor wedding. Add a berry basket of strawberries to each plate for a colorful addition that’s edible too. (via Phillip Van Nostrand)

13. Bright Table Runner: When in doubt, add a bright table runner. It ties everything together while adding a serious statement. (via Paula Bartosiewciz Photography)

14. Wood Crates: Stuck on what to use for table numbers? We’re loving this upcycled wooden crate. The best part? When the wedding is over, these will make great storage in your new home! (via Arrowood Photography)

15. Balloons: If you’re looking to go bold (and we mean bold) with your center piece, add a statement balloon to your tables to celebrate the big day. (via Analisa Joy Photography)

If Gilmore Girls andThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel have shown me anything, it's that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino always has an incredible story up her sleeve. Her new show Étoile, which is coming to Prime Video, promises to be a beautiful and sophisticated look at the world of dance, and if the fact that it's from Amy wasn't enough reason to watch it, it's also Prime's first new show to get a two-season order! Here's everything we know about the series.

What is the next Sherman Palladino show?

Following our beloved Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Dan and Amy Sherman-Palladino's next series is Étoile, which is set at two world-famous ballet companies in New York City and Paris. When both companies run into some trouble, the decide to swap their most talented stars in a last-ditch effort to save themselves.

And based on the first set leaks from New York City, it looks like Étoile will definitely be packing on the drama. This short clip shows Luke Kirby standing outside Lincoln Center in a serious conversation (probably about the fate of his ballet company, TBH).

"Well, guess that plan for early retirement will have to wait," Dan and Amy said in a joint statement (via The Hollywood Reporter). "Instead, we’ve decided to embark on an international journey with an unbelievable group of players and the most talented ballet dancers in the world. We will sleep when we’re dead."

But this isn't the first time ASP has forayed into the world of ballet! Her ABC Family series Bunheads (which premiered on June 11, 2012) follows Michelle (Sutton Foster) who moves to her hometown of Paradise and starts working at her mother-in-law's dance studio The Paradise Dance Academy.

Who will star in the new show?

The best part is that the role of Michelle's mother-in-law is played by Emily Gilmore herself, Kelly Bishop!

When does Étoile premiere?

We don't have an official release date yet, but considering THR recently revealed the show will finish filming soon, we're hoping to see Étoile in 2025. Just like Gilmore Girls is the ultimate fall rewatch, maybe Étoile will be the ultimate winter rewatch!

Who's in the Étoile cast?

So far, we know that Étoile will star Luke Kirby, Gideon Glick, Camille Cottin, Simon Callow, Lou de Laâge, and David Alvarez. Yanic Truesdale, who played our favorite Gilmore Girls concierge Michel, has also joined the series as a recurring character! I'm so excited to see Yanic working with Amy Sherman-Palladino again — it's like a Gilmore Girls reunion!

What does Étoile mean?

Jeremy Thomas/Unsplash

Étoile translates to "star," and there are so many different connections here! We have the ballet stars themselves, but you also wish upon a star and reach for the stars when you're working towards a dream. If you ask me, Étoile is the perfect name for this series.

How many episodes does Étoile have?

The first season of Étoile will have eight episodes total, but considering Prime Video ordered two seasons, we'll definitely be getting more episodes.
